Hi Si! Great video! Wow, I just love what you did with the lamp. What a transformation - to think it was at the bottom of that river rusting away for decades and now it's looking fab and hanging up on the side of your mudlarking cave! Love it. N

You could try a little purple paint mixed in with the black on the coin, it will help to reduce the orange a bit. Always go for the opposite colour on the colour wheel if you want to try to tone down a specific colour.

Si and Nicola need to open a Mudlarking Museum. It could be virtual, but it would be an awesome way for them, and other Mudlarks, to catalog all their finds.

Who'd have thought, it's a real education watching you guys. Thanks

Don't know if anyone has mentioned this before, but a trick to get that paint into small areas for highlighting and such. If you're using acrylic paints, thin it out a bit with some isopropyl alcohol, lets the paint flow more easily into the nooks and such. Just a tip from someone who paints miniatures on occasion.

Nicola: "Say it like you mean it!" LOL. There's so much in that little stream - love the lamp (it brushed up really well) but what a pity about the token, but still interesting! I thought the key was for a clock - but I learn something new all the time on your channel! Thanks Si!

Simon, A bit of "Deja-Vu" ehhh? I loved the 3 pence cleanup, here in the States , Metal Detectorists find George 1,2 and 3 around old Colonial sites along the East Coast. As I watch your video, I look East out my window here in Ferndale ,WA. and watch the light snowfall, the first significant one this winter. I think about you and Nicola braving the winter weather to search for treasures. knowing how complex and diverse the detritus of the past is there. Our treasures are the Cascade Mountains with old growth forests and some COUGARS!,and on a clear day, I can see Mt. Baker looming up, thirty miles East of here. We don't have your layered history ,but growing up near the New Jersey pine barrens and the forgotten towns and forges pre and after the Revolution offered me a glimpse into our early days. Cheers, Rik Spector

Another good method for cleaning silver is to dissolve washing soda crystals in a container of water place a piece of aluminium foil in the bottom of the container then put the silver in. It will create its own electrolysis and clean the silver.
